JavaScript Bootcamp Student Reviews

  • javascript bootcamp student testimonial - Evan | The Jump

    Evan, changed career to Software Engineer

    I really enjoyed my bootcamp at The Jump, and would highly recommend it to anyone...

    What attracted me to The Jump was the curriculum, which focused on the most up to date and relevant tech, very reasonable course fees compared to other schools, and also that they sought to correct some of the negatives that come with larger bootcamps

    My instructor... has over 20 years industry experience and knows pretty much everything about any topic or tech. He cares deeply about your development, and always had time for me if I needed help

    Rob himself gave lots of career support... and was instrumental in me getting my first developer role, which took about 6 weeks

  • JavaScript bootcamp student testimonial - Matt | The Jump

    Matt, Changed career to Software Engineer

    Exactly what I wanted. After shopping around for different boot camps, I came across The Jump which looked like a the most beneficial and affordable option which could fit around my job at the time.

    The best part of the course is that the jump team prioritise your goals. Mine was to get a job as a developer and that’s what happened!

    After initially being unsure of taking the step of going on a bootcamp, I couldn’t be happier with the outcome.

  • JavaScript bootcamp student testimonial - Sam | The Jump

    Sam, Changed Career to Software Engineer

    The best investment I've made to advance my professional career...

    ...unlike lots of other well-known coding boot camps, the program does not teach outdated teaching frameworks & languages that are no longer in demand.

    James, the tutor, is very responsive to questions, and it was a real privilege to have a highly skilled and experienced developer to learn from

    If anyone is deliberating whether to sign up to the course, don't worry, it will be an excellent investment in your future

How are we different from other schools?

Small software engineering course cohorts for personalised support

Small cohorts

Some schools 150+ students onto their cohorts. We cap ours at 30 so that we can give you personalised support.

commercially relevant

Commercially valuable

Many Schools teach Ruby. We don’t. We teach you the tech that’s in demand now. For every Ruby developer role, there’s ~10 JavaScript developer roles.

Focus your learn in more depth

Focused training

Many schools teach two programming languages. We don’t. It’s better to be really good at one language than average at two.

Highly experienced instructors

Experienced Instructors

Many schools use their recent grads as instructors. We don’t. All our instructors have 15+ years of software engineering experience. They intuitively know the tech and have a wealth of wisdom.

Making learning as accessible as possible

As accessible as possible

You can train either part time or full time; we run our training at a discount to the market; it's online so you can learn from anywhere; we record every session so you can rewatch it; we give you whatever support you need.

Tuition fees and financing options

Our JavaScript Bootcamp tuition fee is £4,999

If you are funding the programme directly, you can pay a deposit of £1,000 when signing up, followed by 3 equal instalments of £1,333 at the beginning of weeks 3, 8, and 13 to help you manage cash flow.

Alternatively, we’re partnered with three specialist education finance providers, Knoma, Lendwise and StepEx.

Lendwise

Lendwise charge interest and ask you to pay the deposit, but they can provide loans to cover the remainder that are repayable over a longer period, e.g. 4 years at ~£107 per month or 7 years at ~£69 per month.

Lendwise

StepEx provide a Future Earnings Agreement (study now, pay later). You pay a deposit of £1,000 and replace the remaining course fees with a commitment to repay 4.5% of your earnings across 36 repayment months once you’re in employment with gross earning at least £24K per annum. Course fees are capped at the lower of £9,998 or the total amount collected across your 36 repayment months.

What is the application process?

Our application process is super simple - it's just a phone conversation with us to make sure that you have all the information you need and that this is the right option for you. (don't worry, there’s no tech test or anything arbitrary like that).

Once we’ve spoken and you’re happy to proceed, the next step is to sign you up. If you’re funding it directly, we can send you paperwork straight away. If you’re looking to use one of our finance partners, then you’ll need to apply to them and confirm that they will lend to you - we’ll explain this part to you when we speak.

Once that’s sorted, we’ll send you all the details of software you need to download and accounts to sign up to (they’re all free) for the bootcamp.
